For many former presidents, literature has played a huge role in shaping their worldview, and how they approach decision-making.
The elder George Bush said he learned everything about life from reading Leo Tolstoy's multi-generational epic 'War and Peace.' Ronald Reagan used to read Tom Clancy novels for inspiration before challenging summits with his Russian counterparts.
From 'The Hunt for Red October' to 'Macbeth' former US presidents are a well-read bunch. Barack Obama and Bill Clinton have released reading lists on social media, while many others have discussed their favorite works in past interviews.
